The 1019 Report
Starting next month, St. Lazare’s monthly town council meetings will include two question periods, providing an opportunity for residents to inquire about the resolutions raised at the meeting.
This additional question period, which is already practised in several neighbouring municipalities in the 1019 region, will be scheduled at the end of every monthly meetings. It will have a 20-minute time limit.
The town council unanimously approved the move at the April 14 meeting.
The second question period will allow residents to ask questions or seek clarifications about specific resolutions that are adopted at that meeting immediately “instead of waiting for the following month or doing it informally,” St. Lazare Mayor Geneviève Lachance said.
The next town council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 14, at 7 p.m.
